“Do you think is the same enemy?” asked Tsunade looking at the window giving Raven and Sango her back. “I saw you earlier when Anko was describing the enemy”“I think it is. The ones she described are the same who captured my friend and her brother” replied Raven
“Who are they?” asked Tsunade turning her gaze toward them
“They are Herald and Madam Rogue. Herald was a Titan like me but betrayed us. Madam Rogue was with the Brother Hood of Evil but she quitted. She didn’t like too much order. I don’t know what are they up too either” Raven explained
“You shouldn’t waste time here. Hurry up and go. Find them” Tsunade suddenly said before they could say something else.
“What about you? You won’t be looking for Naruto?!?” Sango said
“My ninjas will find him” Tsunade answered
“But didn’t you hear?!? Only one could come and the ANBU members are in the hospital!! Sango declared
“There are plenty more ninjas here. Go!” Tsunade said a little bothered and turning her back at them again
“As I could see the ANBU members are special ninjas, right? They are in the hospital. That means this enemy is not an ordinary one. You, the strongest of all ninjas here, should come with us and look for him too.” Sango said. She then closed her arm and looked down for like 5 seconds. Then she turned her gaze at Tsunade, who was giving them her back. Sango was staring angrily at her. “Isn’t him important to you?!?” Sango said with a raised voice.
That was deep for Tsunade. Of course he was important to her but she couldn’t leave the village either. She looked down and closed her eyes.
“Come on, Sango, let’s go” Raven said and started walking toward the door with Kirara
Sango just stood there, still, looking angrily at Tsunade. She then opened her arms and calmed down a little. She turned to the door and was about to follow Raven who was already outside walking, but she stopped and looked at Tsunade. Tsunade, still, had her back at them but noticed and ignored her. Sango looked down a little disappointed “I thought you were the one who protects every villager…” and followed Raven.

Those last words went deeper as she remembered her little brother and her loved one who both died in a war. They both wanted the same thing protect the village and the villagers . And so was Naruto’s dream too. She kept thinking…

Somewhere in the village

“I can’t believe her! Pfft Hokage… yeah right!” complained Sango
“She can’t just leave the village. She has to protect it and the villagers too” Raven said making an excuse trying to stop the subject
“Isn’t Naruto a villager too?!?” Sango said
“Yes. I understand that too. But she said she had more ninjas” “Maybe those ninjas are like the ones who attacked us, who could barely touch us. The ANBU members…” Sango stopped because she saw Raven stopping
“Sango” Raven said turning her gaze toward her “I understand, but is her choice. We can’t do anything about it” Raven said looking back to where she was heading.
Sango sighed

Back at Tsunade’s office

Tsunade was sitting on her desk with a sad face. Shizune entered.

“Tsunade-sama, the ANBU won’t come back to their ninja work until 4 or 5 days and Raido...” Shizune stopped. She noticed Tsunade’s face. “Tsunade? What’s wrong?”
“Shizune, do you think I should leave and find Naruto?” Tsunade asked with her arms below her chin.
Shizune thought for like 20 seconds. She finished and smiled. “Tsunade” She said putting her arm on one of Tsunade’s shoulders. “Go! I’ll take care of your work and the village for you. Besides with Orochimaru dead who would harm this village?” She said smiling at her.
“Thank you, Shizune.” Tsunade smiled back and stood up. “Izumo, Kotetsu!!” she called
The two of them appeared and knelt. “Hokage-sama?” they said
“You will be Shizune’s personal assistant. I’m leaving for a while” Tsunade said
The two of them looked at each other knowing what was that for “Yes” they said and nodded
“Tsunade, don’t let Sakura and Sasuke see you. You know how they are because of this. They will do anything to bring him back especially Sakura.” Shizune warned
“I thought about that. Don’t worry!” Before Tsunade opened the door she looked back at Shizune. Tsunade smiled and: “I’ll leave it to you. I’m bringing back Naruto, that’s for sure”I’m sure you will Shizune thought smiling and confident.

“I wonder, if Sango’s ok” said a young woman with long black hair and a school uniform
“Huh?” said a young man with long white hair, cat ears, a sword and with a red clothe.
“I mean, she left at morning and is almost night. I fear something’s happening” said the young woman
“Kagome is right, Inuyasha, is not like her to be late” said a young man. He has a chignon holding his short black hair. A monk with purple clothe.
“Late?? What were you two up to?” Inuyasha said staring at him very curious.
“Inuyasha, sit!” Kagome said
Inuyasha, suddenly fell in the floor.
(A long time ago someone gave Kagome a neckalce so she can put it on Inuyasha because he was being mean. So every time he acted like that Kagome would say sit boy or sit and the necklace will drop him in the ground)
“Ahh! What was that for?!?” Inuyasha yelled
While these two were arguing the young man just stared at nothing and kept thinking. Kagome looked at the young man and noticed that he was worried.
“Hey, are you ignoring me?” Inuyasha said really angry and saw Kagome looking at the young man, who looked worried.
“Say, Inuyasha, should we go there and see if Sango is ok? Miroku is worried.” She asked
“Huh? Hmm… maybe” he answered
“What do you mean maybe?!?!” She shouted staring him and fire was around her (not really is just symbolizes that she’s reaaally angry). She then walked toward Miroku.
“Miroku…Um… shall we go after her?” she said unsure of what he’ll say
“There’s no choice but to go back there.” He said and started walking
“Soo, we’re going back?” said Inuyasha who was walking toward Kagome after Miroku left
Kagome sighed “Yes” she said turning her face down
“Huh? What’s wrong?” Inuyasha asked
“Is just… thinking about that place brings me bad memories” Then she rose her face and looked at Inuyasha. “But I’m glad I found that place” she said smiling
“Really? How come?” He asked a little confused
“Because if it wasn’t for that place I would’ve never met you” She said with a sweet smile on her face.
They both blushed and Inuyasha grabbed her arms. “Kagome…
“Hey, you two hurry up. I don’t have all night to wait for you guys” Miroku interrupted yelling and waving
“It seems that me neither” Inuyasha said a little angry. Kagome chuckled.
“Yeah, let me get my bow and arrows” she said

She grabbed them and put them on her back and the two of them went toward Miroku.
They kept walking until they stopped in front of the thing that makes them go back to the past. They all stood around it and looked at each other

“This is it” Miroku said
Inuyasha and Kagome nodded at Miroku and Miroku nodded back. Then Miroku jumped followed by Kagome and Inuyasha.

Raven, Sango and Kirara were heading to the entrance of Konoha Village. Suddenly Konohamaru appeared in front of them.

“You, intruders!” He says
Raven looked at him with an eyebrow raised
Sango sights and put her right hand in her forehead with her face down. Then looked at him and took off her hand. “Kid, we are not intruders”“Sure you are!!” Konohamaru yelled pointing at them
“This kid sure is annoying” Sango whispered at Raven. She then looked at him again.
“Look, we are leaving this village so you don’t have to worry about us” Raven said
“Konohamaru!!!” a girl and a boy shouted and waved at him while they were running toward him “Come on, we have to go!” the girl said
“No until I find out what they did in the village, maybe they took something, or worse they killed somebody and no one noticed” Konohamaru said staring at Raven and Sango
Say what?!? Sango glared at him “Look, kid, we…”“Konohamaru!!” Iruka said, running toward them with an angry face
“Eek, he found us already?!?” Konohamaru said surprised
The boy and the girl grabbed him at kept running.
“Hey you three, come back here!! You should be in class!” Iruka yelled running after them. *anime water drops on Raven and Sango*
“Phew” Sango sighted “At least that kid is gone.”

They turned back to the entrance of the village and started walking.
Hours Later in a forest, they were walking, it was already night, the wind blows and it was cold. You could see the stars clearly in the sky.

“The wind sure is cold.” Sango said
“We should rest now and keep looking tomorrow” Raven said looking around her, trying to find some firewood. Then she brought some firewood, covered with dark aura.
Sango brought some firewood too and they made fire. “Come on Kirara, let’s sleep…” Sango saw Raven walking away “Raven, Where are you going?” “I’m going to meditate. I’ll come back soon” Raven said
“Meditate? Why?” Sango asked
“My powers are driven by emotions. I have to meditate to keep them calmed” She said and left through the shadows
She’s a little mysterious Sango thought and went to sleep.
Minutes later Raven came back. She looked at the sky. The wind kept blowing moving her hair and cloak. The fire almost went off. Then she looked at Sango and Kirara. Tomorrow… and she went to sleep.

The sun rises. You can hear the birds singing. A little smoke comes from the firewood. Raven, Sango and Kirara are still sleeping…
Minutes Later… Sango yawns and Kirara wakes up. Sango slowly opens her eyes.

“Huh? Where’s Raven? Did she come back last night?” Sango said looking around. She stood up and heard a sound (like if someone stepped on a tree branch breaking it) coming from the bunch of trees that were on her left side. Kirara transformed to the tiger form quickly and Sango was about to put in her battle pose but looked closely through the trees and saw a familiar figure. Kirara was about to jump but Sango put her arm in front of Kirara “Wait” Sango took another closer look and realized that it was Raven. Raven came out and Kirara transformed back.

“It was you” Sango sighed “Please, tell me that you went to sleep last night” Sango said
“I went to sleep last night” Raven said
“Ok, soooo why you were there?” asked Sango
“Just checking the place” Raven said
“Riiight…” Sango said crossing her arms. She’s just mysterious…“Raven… umm…”“Sango, I understand that you don’t trust me completely. It is because I’m all mysterious and creepy” Raven said and did a little chuckle “It reminds me of someone… But Sango…” Raven looked at her “I told you that I was going to help you to find your brother and that’s what I’m going to do” Raven smiled at her
Sango turned her face down as she was sad because of doubting on Raven. “I’m sorry” She said
“It’s ok. I understand. Now let’s go”

They kept walking until they saw…
